Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.Will Rogers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One night, a father passed by his son's room and heard his son praying: "God bless Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma. Ta ta, Grandpa."

The father didn't quite know what this meant, but was glad his son was praying. The next morning, they found Grandpa dead on the floor of a heart attack. The father reassured himself that it was just a coincidence, but was still a bit spooked.

The next night, he heard his son praying again: "God bless Mommy and Daddy. Ta ta, Grandma."

The father was worried, but decided to wait until morning. Sure enough, the next morning Grandma was on the floor, dead of a heart attack.

Really scared now, the father decided to wait outside his son's door the next night. And sure enough, the boy started to pray: "God bless Mommy. Ta ta, Daddy."

Now the father was wetting his pants. He stayed up all night, and went to the doctor's early the next day to make sure his health was fine. When he finally came home, his wife was waiting on the porch. She said, "Thank God you're here -- we could really use your help! We found milkman dead on our porch this morning!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom. The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark."

The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and protect you."

The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him," she said.

The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?" ~~~~~~~~~~~

A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later: "Da-ad..." "What?" "I'm thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?" "No. You had your chance. Lights out." "Five minutes later: "Da-aaaad..." "WHAT?" "I'm THIRSTY...Can I have a drink of water??" "I told you NO! If you ask again I'll have to spank you!!" "Five minutes later... "Daaaa-aaaad..." "WHAT??!!" "When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a drink of water?"~~~~~~~~~

An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?" The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the "birds and the bees." When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?" The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just a couple of secs."~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tim's Grocery Store. The owner Tim doesn't know what Junior's problem is, but the boys like to tease him. They say he is two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles shy of a barrel.

To prove it, sometimes they offer Junior his choice between a nickel and a dime. He always takes the nickel - they say - because it's bigger.

One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, Tim got him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"

And Junior said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!" ~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyboomie.

One day back at work and I'm already looking forward to my next day off, which is Saturday.

I don't have any plans. I think it's going to be nasty in the weather department.

I think my only real plan is to wait for some heavy rain to bring my next good opportunity to find another arrowhead and I have no idea when that will happen.

Until then I'll spend my days off playing computer games and working around here trying to get this place ready to sell.

It seems we spend our time chasing our tomorrows, and you know what they say, 'tomorrow never comes'......but the day after yesterday comes every day, and some people continually look backward and say "What happened to it? What did I do? Where did it go?"

If you're one of 'those people' too, it may be time for a change.

Remember the Grass Roots song Live For Today?

I hope you all have a sha la la la la la happy today.

niteowl it is so good to see you post in the diner again!! There really is 'no place like home'!!!! Glad that melodee was so glad to see you!! Best of luck getting everything all set up. Prayers continue! HUGS!!

It's actually raining REAL rain here. So exciting. Silent outside except for the whoosh of cars on wet pavement. Lovely day. Unfortunately it's also trash day so I will have to go out and drag in 2 huge empty cans. Ick. All wet and dirty. Maybe if I let them sit for awhile the rain will wash away the dirt.

AND it's amazing, but every time it rains (which is seldom) my outdoor plants seem to perk up immediately. Something must be special in rain drops. I water and they just sit there, it rains and they all stand at attention, get greener and look healthier. Dunno why but I think Nature has it all figured out.

Need to go on the daily walk but the rain is a bit too challenging. Might go shopping instead and walk later when the rain is gone. Choices, choices. It's a true bad hair day so maybe it won't matter anyway.

Thought I'd posted, but guess not! It was cold out, but I see sun and I see blue sky, so it's off to the park for me with the Keoki man...Have to wear my walking shoes today and I managed to hurt some muscles yesterday in my crocs.

Ended up doing a lot today. Took Nina on a long walk. Foot is great now since I had custom made arch supports. Baked cookies, made cucumber pickles, read some of my book and did some gaming. Hope everyone is enjoying the day!
